American Imports

For better or worse, Swiss and French TV relies heavily on American programming, whether current or from decades ago (and seemingly everywhere in between). I’m pretty sure things have officially hit rock bottom as we now have access to MTV’s The Jersey Shore.

I saw this program when I was back in the U.S. over Christmas and it was definitely “train wreck” television at its best. You know you should turn the channel…look away…thoroughly cleanse yourself…but you just can’t. If nothing else, the translations are pretty funny. And in case you were wondering, the terms “guido” and “guidette” are apparently the same in French…
